Time for our March monthly update!This month we have ramped up internal testing with developers and select community members, playing with over 30 players in a round with only a few minor hiccups, and the results are very promising! We're aiming for bigger and better in future tests.
And of course, as in the last announcement, we have gone live on Steam Greenlight! Visit the
Steam Greenlight page here to see more media content including a brand new trailer. We have received over 30000 votes, and we aren't aiming to stop now! Please vote!
Without further adieu, here is a snapshot of the progress in the month of March.
- Updated the game to be compatible with version 4.7 of the Unreal Engine.
- Progress on a basic implementation of a Kit Role system
- Added a particle generator that draws vectors from an origin point and spawns child particle systems based on impacts with terrain and statics, making explosions much more realistic and dynamic based on where they are set off.
- Added Beretta M9A1 Pistol
- Updated sounds for various weapons as well as adding more ambient sounds
- Made significant performance strides with render-to-texture optics (prototype created by Mosquill)
- Humvee modelling complete
- Made a lot of progress on deployable statics system, both concept and art
